Abstract

A method and system for performing constructive, modality-focused learning, includes the steps of storing a collection of multi-media content segments in a database, the multimedia content having an associated learning modality tag profile. The invention then assigns a learning modality proclivity profile to a learner for reflecting the learning modality proclivity demonstrated by the learner. The learner is presented for selection by the learner the collection of multi-media content segments for responding to said constructive learning challenge. The system presents to the learner a constructive learning challenge, the constructive learning challenge formed so as to demonstrate the accomplishment of predetermined learning objectives and require the learner to construct a result. The method and system adapt the learning modality proclivity profiles and the learning modality profile tag in response to the demonstrated proclivity of the learner in accomplishing the predetermined learning objective and constructing the desired result. The invention further permits verifying the accomplishment of said predetermined learning objectives and the construction of said desired result.

Claims

1. A method for performing constructive, modality-focused learning, comprising the steps of:

storing a collection of multi-media content segments in a database, the multimedia content having an associated learning modality tag profile;

assigning a learning modality proclivity profile to a learner for reflecting the learning modality proclivity demonstrated by the learner;

presenting to the learner a constructive learning challenge, said constructive learning challenge formed so as to demonstrate the accomplishment of predetermined learning objectives and require the learner to construct a result, presenting for selection by the learner, the collection of multi-media content segments for responding to said constructive learning challenge;

adapting said learning modality proclivity profiles, the learning modality profile tag in response to the demonstrated proclivity of the learner in accomplishing said predetermined learning objective and constructing said desired result, and verifying the accomplishment of said predetermined learning objectives and the construction of said desired result.
